Renal Profile in Athletes, Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD)

Abstract

Physical exercise has been shown to act as a buffering tool for possible physiological damage, reducing renal inflammation (reducing kidney size and weight) and improving glomerular filtration levels [ Aparici et al., 2010]. We seek to determine the renal profile in athletes of the IPD ‐ Trujillo Subsidiary. The sample was men and women of 21.8 years of average age: 328 athletes (11 sports disciplines) and 80 non‐athletes. In the results we found a lower percentage of hyperglycemia in athletes ~ 4.5% compared to non‐athletes ~ 17.5%. No cases of high glycosylated hemoglobin were found in athletes, but in non‐athletes (~ 5%). In the evaluation of the renal profile, the powerlifters presented the highest percentage of elevated serum creatinine (~ 25%), while in rugby no case was reported. The general urea and creatine averages were lower in athletes (2.3% and 7% respectively) than in non‐athletes (12.5 and 17.5 respectively). In the urine evaluation, the cases of infection were similar (p> 0.05) 20.2% in athletes and 25% in non‐athletes. The consumption of dietary supplements is common in both athletes and non‐athletes, the abuse of protein supplements has an adverse effect on renal function [ El‐Gharabawy et al., 2018]. In conclusion, athletes show more stable glycemia, also most sports disciplines have a better renal profile.Support or Funding InformationAntenor Orrego Private University Percentage Distribution of Elevated Renal Profile Values in Athletes, Peruvian Sports Institute SPORT SEX NUMBER AGE % RENAL PROFILE IN PERUVIAN ATHLETES Hyperglycemia HbA1c Urea Creatinine Infection Karate F 17 18.3 100 11.8 00.0 11.8 11.8 29.4 M 17 23.4 100 05.9 00.0 05.9 00.0 17.6 Average 34 20.9 100 08.9 0.0 08.9 05.9 23.5 Volleyball F 18 23.9 100 05.6 00.0 05.6 00.0 33.3 M 18 22.5 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 05.6 16.7 Average 36 23.2 100 02.8 0.0 02.8 02.8 25.0 Soccer M 30 21.7 100 10.0 00.0 06.7 13.3 20.0 Average 30 21.7 100 10.0 0.0 06.7 13.3 20.0 Baseball M 32 19.1 100 09.4 00.0 03.2 03.2 15.6 Average 32 19.1 100 09.4 00.0 03.2 03.2 15.6 Taekwondo F 18 22.7 100 05.6 00.0 05.6 00.0 22.2 M 18 20.5 100 11.1 00.0 00.0 11.1 16.7 Average 36 21.6 100 08.35 0.0 02.8 05.6 19.5 Athletics F 17 20.3 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 11.8 29.4 M 17 19.9 100 05.9 00.0 00.0 00.0 17.6 Average 34 20.1 100 03 0.0 0.0 05.9 23.5 HbA1c= glycosylated hemoglobin, F=female, M=male Percentage Distribution of Elevated Renal Profile Values in Athletes, Peruvian Sports Institute SPORT SEX NUMBER AGE % RENAL PROFILE IN PERUVIAN ATHLETES Hyperglycemia HbA1c Urea Creatinine Infection Basketball F 19 23.8 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 10.5 10.5 M 19 25.0 100 05.3 00.0 05.3 05.3 05.3 Average 38 24.4 100 02.7 0.0 02.7 07.9 07.9 Gymnastics F 20 21.5 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 05.0 20.0 M 20 23.8 100 05.0 00.0 00.0 05.0 20.0 Average 40 22.7 100 02.5 0.0 0.0 05 20.0 Swimming F 11 15.4 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 00.0 36.4 M 11 19.7 100 18.1 00.0 00.0 09.1 18.1 Average 22 17.6 100 09.1 0.0 0.0 04.6 27.3 Rugby F 06 22.9 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 00.0 16.7 M 06 21.7 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 00.0 16.7 Average 12 22.3 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 00.0 16.7 Powerlifting F 06 20.9 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 16.7 16.7 M 06 23.6 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 33.3 16.7 Average 12 22.3 100 00.0 00.0 00.0 25 16.7 Female average 133 21.1 100 02.6 0.0 02.6 06.2 23.8 Male average 194 21.9 100 06.4 0.0 01.9 07.8 16.5 General average 326 21.45 100 04.5 0.0 02.3 07 20.2 Nan‐Athletes: F 40 21.6 100 15.0 05 10.0 15.0 30.0 M 40 22.7 100 20.0 05 15.0 20.0 20.0 Average 80 22.15 100 17.5 05 12.5 17.5 25.0
